Attend this workshop on institutional analysis to:
1) Present your research in new ways in a small, focused setting. Share intensive discussions and get feedback from faculty and other participants: first within a small group, then formally before the entire workshop. Ten full-time faculty will provide intensive mentoring.
2) Hear the faculty discuss their own research and strategies to formulate questions, develop analysis, and communicate results.
3) Network closely with faculty and other young scholars who have an enduring interest in institutional analysis. After the daily sessions, enjoy informal conversations during delicious dinners. There will also be a special event and a gala dinner. Upon graduation, become part of a scholarly network with alumni from 76 countries.
The pace is intense and rewarding. Participants must attend all sessions and give as well as receive feedback.
Who is eligible?
Social scientists early in their academic/professional careers and advanced graduate students, in economics, political science, law, and other social sciences. Work already published is not eligible, and previous participants are not eligible to apply again.
Selection
Twenty-six participants will be selected competitively on the basis of their research abstracts, CVs, and references. Abstracts will be evaluated on the clarity and importance of the research question, analysis, and institutional focus. Projects with empirically testable implications are preferred.
To apply, submit your research abstract (350 words max), 1-page CV, statement of purpose, and the names of two references. Admissions decisions will be announced in July.
Costs and fellowships
The cost of the workshop – tuition, meals, and housing - is $2500 USD. Many fellowships will be awarded competitively in varying amounts to scholars for whom this cost is a hardship. If you wish to be considered for a fellowship, submit your fellowship request with your application. Note that all participants must stay in workshop housing. All participants are responsible for paying their own travel expenses.
